Give old socks a second chance

Posted by Staff in Packing, Tip of the Week

Have an old mismatched sock in your drawer that drives your inner “neat freak” crazy?

Well give that poor old sock a second chance on your next trip……no I am not saying start a new “wear only one sock trend”….instead use it as a last minute packing aid.

Socks (especially the thick gym type) make a great pocket camera cover or sunglass case, and prevent the items from getting scratched by other things in your bag.

    They also make great protective coverings for fragile souvenirs on the way home. I always put my shotglasses inside of socks for travel and have yet to have one break.
